A simple model for the estimation of the light yield of a scintillation detector starting from the knowledge of its optical parameters and under general assumptions is developed. It is also shown how to take into account the effects related to Rayleigh scattering and absorption of the photons. The predictions of the model are benchmarked with the outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation of a specific scintillation detector. The case of a real scintillation detector with internal surface covered by wavelength-shifter is explicitly treated and the model prediction is compared with the measured light yield.
